URGENT UPDATE: California Governor Gavin Newsom has just launched a provocative new website targeting Donald Trump and his associates, highlighting their criminal records while showcasing a dramatic decline in violent crime across California’s major cities. This bold political move comes on the heels of recently released data indicating a 25% drop in violent crime in Oakland and a 21% decrease in San Francisco.
In a direct challenge to Trump, Newsom’s website tracks “Trump’s top 10 criminal cronies,” cataloging numerous corruption cases and criminal convictions. The governor’s office states, “Governor Newsom is driving crime down — and Donald Trump is pardoning drug lords and driving criminals into government.”
The initiative launched earlier today features Trump’s mugshot prominently, underscoring his conviction for falsifying business records in New York, marking the first time a former or sitting president has faced such charges. The site also delves into Trump’s controversial business dealings, including ties to Jeffrey Epstein and a jumbo jet received from Qatar, alleging that American taxpayers may bear a hefty $400 million bill for retrofitting the aircraft due to an unusual NATO-like security agreement.
Moreover, the website highlights Trump’s executive power misuse related to the January 6th Capitol riot. It showcases booking photos of rioters who were granted clemency after Trump returned to office. Former Rep. George Santos is also mentioned, as his sentence for wire fraud and identity theft was commuted by Trump last month.
“Trump doesn’t care if you lie about your mom dying on 9/11, steal personal identity information from elderly donors, and use your campaign apparatus for personal gain,” the site states. “As long as you can out MAGA your way through a Republican primary, you may be eligible for clemency and maybe a new Louis Vuitton bag too.”
This strategic move by Newsom not only highlights declining crime rates but also aims to shift the narrative around Trump ahead of the upcoming electoral cycle. With the political landscape rapidly evolving, all eyes will be on how this confrontation unfolds and what impacts it will have on both Newsom’s and Trump’s political futures.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story and its implications for California and the nation.
